The SI unit of power, the watt, is named after James Watt, for his contributions to the development of the steam engine. The symbol for watts is a capital W. The watt is a derived unit, equal to 1 joule of energy per second, a rate of conversion of energy. In electricity, 1 watt is 1 ampere at 1 volt (watts = amps X volts).

Yes, "Watt" should be capitalized when referring to the unit of power, named after James Watt.
The watts were named after James Watt... actually I'mm lieing :)
The unit of power, wattage, is named after the Scottish inventor James Watt. James Watt made significant contributions to the development of the steam engine. The watt was adopted as a unit of power in honor of his work.
He discovered the power of steam
James Watt did not invent watts. The watt is a unit of power named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer who made significant contributions to the development of the steam engine. The watt is defined as one joule of energy per second.
James Watt didn't use a horse to find horse power
The guy that descovered the formula for power (work/time = power) had the last name "watt"AnswerIn SI, compound units are frequently given special names. For example, the coulomb is a special name given to an ampere second.Power is the rate at which energy is supplied and, so, its compound unit is the joule per second. Under SI, this is given the special name, 'watt', in honour of a Scottish engineer, James Watt.
The watt, a unit of power, was named after Scottish inventor James Watt but was actually created and defined by the International System of Units (SI) to honor his contributions to the development of the steam engine.
